Finally - A Warm Day
Comments (16)Was perfect here yesterday, 63 deg, 17 warmer than out average, and only 3 away from our record high. Of course I was outside ALL day. SOOOO hard not to pull off the leaf covers from the beds. Last night it only went down to 52!! Was 54 when I woke up this morn! Almost 60 today, but we're gettin rain later..under a flood watch..blech! Thank god we dont get serious floods in my town. Was havin a hard time not takin the leaf covers off this morn too..peekin at everything poppin up, more green than I expected..daffs, tulips, hyacinths, lilies (tallest ones are about 7/8" already!), irises, columbines, foxgloves, some unknown bulbs, snow on the mountain, O I could go on. Anyhoo..hubby looked at me like I was nuts and said "You dont think we're gonna get any more frosts?!" He prob saved my lil babies from my impatience. So I just sat there and sulked, staring at the green stuff poppin through all those brown dead leaves. lol. Daniella...See MoreIs anyone here single and over 50?
Comments (17)Now youâÂÂve got me thinking -- which is why I posted here! Maybe IâÂÂve not been assertive enough. IâÂÂve been out there doing my thing, but other than my close friends I havenâÂÂt been telling anyone that IâÂÂm single and IâÂÂd like to date. When IâÂÂm at the grocery store, too often IâÂÂm more focused on getting what I need and getting the heck outta there and not paying attention to whomever is right in front of me. You know in the movies when you see the two romantic leads and they just miss each other getting in and out of a cab or crossing a street? That could be me! And now IâÂÂm also thinking about what signals I might be sending out. IâÂÂm very independent and that could come across as aloof sometimes. ItâÂÂs common for everyone to be a little guarded and detached in public and I need to be more accessible. Why would anyone approach me if I donâÂÂt look like IâÂÂm open to it? CanâÂÂt blame them. This has been very helpful, thanks so much!...See MoreIs this what life over 50 is suppose to be like?
Comments (7)Pamper yourself!! Life in your fifties is focusing on your plan . You can plan on accepting the changes or choose to make each day fun. I went to bed aged 51 and awoke feeling 100 four years ago. I was irritable, depressed, angry, sore, tired, and searching for answers. My discussions with the orthopedics , my GP and the gynecologist was nonproductive and frankly scary. The Internet offered me a better insight with why I was feeling so lousy , depressed and slipping into a negative state. Having always focused on the kids, hubby and home I decided I need to focus on myself so I wrote myself an email listing all my complaints and things I should be grateful . I found myself watching all the women at the grocery store . I seriously looked in the mirror noting what changes I could make that benefits me. The focus was placing me on the top of my to do list. Your hormones are what make your skin supple, your joints flexible , your mental state balanced and your tendons pliable. It took me a few years to realize I had entered menopause early. All the medical personnel missed the dx cause I stopped my cycles at age 45. Place the focus on what would make you feel pretty. Get your eyebrows waxed. I can no longer hold eyeglasses and trim my brows. Color your hair every six weeks. I use l'oreal every six to eight weeks religiously . Drove me crazy to hang out in the hair salon for three hours and pay a 300 tab. Do what works for you but do it. Lose weight! I found cutting out bread allowed me to drop five pounds. No I was not on a diet but just ate no wheat products. Walk and stretch daily! The lose of hormones makes your tendons brittle . Tight tendons pull on muscles which pull on bones. Several times a day I stretch my hamstrings, arms and back. Seriously takes a few minutes and I feel wonderful. Google hamstring and back exercises . Just doing a few daily will make you feel great. Change your diet. I eliminated bread and added flaxseed, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and calcium with vitamin D to my regimen. Lastly have sex! I have absolutely zero interest but I understand that my husband does. I use the romp in the bedroom as ways to get a body massage. Maybe tmi but it works. I don't tell him but I think of what I need around his needs. Put yourself first. Lose weight for your benefit. If you are ever in the north east and see a fifty? old woman returning her shopping carts and five more it is moi! I purposely park the car a distance and return carts . The extra ten minutes walking and pushing heavy carts keeps me trim and in shape. Make a plan for you . Lose three pounds and then look to do three more. Do things that make you smile. Seriously was crawled up in the fetal position until I decided I want to live and how can I make this better. Start today ....See MoreComfort or fashion (over 50's women)
Comments (33)oklamoni, most jeans do suck, but I buy the stretch, and also prefer the elastic waistband. (not quit as fashionable) They are more comfortable though. Does anyone know what they call the shirts that are longer in the front & back? I can't find any, and us fluffy girls need that coverage. I just hate to shop for clothes! Oh, and forget the shoes, nothing fits, I have a short wide foot, most shoes are out for me. At least the nice looking ones....See Moreplllog
